According to Fat Mike, the documentary does not shy away from the most extreme, uncomfortable or self-destructive chapters of the group\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cMost people wouldn\u2019t be OK with releasing a film that shows footage of getting whipped in their dungeon, or their drug use for the past 20 years, or dressing up like a rubber cheap whore, or the ambulance ride when they were naked while puking and shitting blood\u2026 I\u2019m not like most people,\u201d Fat Mike said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tDirected by James Buddy Day, <em>40 Years of F**kin\u2019 Up<\/em> traces NOFX\u2019s evolution from teenage punks to one of the most influential and polarising bands in modern punk history. The documentary features extensive interviews with the band\u2019s core lineup \u2014 guitarist Eric Melvin, lead guitarist El Hefe and drummer Erik Sandin \u2014 all of whom also serve as executive producers on the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAdditional executive producers include Gary Ousdahl, Cisco Adler and Jon Nadeau, with the project produced through Pyramid Productions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhile the trailer leans heavily into the band\u2019s infamous reputation \u2014 showcasing scenes of drug use, sexual provocation and medical emergencies \u2014 the filmmakers have positioned the documentary as a comprehensive portrait rather than a highlight reel of shock value. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAccording to Day, the film captures both the absurdity and the emotional toll of the band\u2019s long-running self-destruction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWorking with Fat Mike, the band, and the entire NOFX crew has been like nothing I\u2019ve ever experienced,\u201d Day said in a statement. \u201cThis is the punkest band ever \u2014 and their story is exactly as insane as you\u2019d expect: hilarious, painful, reckless, and deeply human.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe added: \u201cDigging through decades of footage, I saw things I\u2019ll never unsee \u2014 but that honesty is what makes this film essential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn keeping with NOFX\u2019s anti-industry ethos, the documentary will also introduce new music from the band \u2014 though it won\u2019t be released through traditional channels. Instead, the unreleased tracks will only be available to audiences attending screenings of the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSneak-peek screenings of <em>40 Years of F**kin\u2019 Up<\/em> are scheduled to take place in Austin, Texas, from March 15\u201316 at Brushy Street Commons, before the documentary rolls out to select theatres worldwide beginning in April.
